HIPAA stands for Health Insurance Probability and Accountability. HIPAA protects you from your medical history being shared. HIPAA has been around since1996.
Conclusion.
HIPAA is very important to people. Doctors have to comply with it or they could be sued or loose their license.
One way that HIPPA could be violated is if a doctor speaks loudly about a patient at a football game and uses his/her name.
One way that Doctors could tell someones medical history is if they need a FMLA form. HIPAA is to protect us but if your medical history shows signs of something hurting you or can potentially hurt others then the doctor will have to report it to the authorities.
